>> I used to grab or record one frame every 20 seconds. Now it's 600 frames every 20 seconds. << Uh Huh… And most animators are really concerned with how fast they can grab frames. Heck an Indeo card can do 30 frames a second. <g> Lets talk about the real issue. How long does it take to process a frame going from hard disk over a network or directly to the PAR? Can you put a frame to the PAR in five seconds, ten seconds? The average time with QP is around 2 seconds with no compression loss. PAR times are typically 10 seconds or more and that's with buffers maxed out! I'd be thrilled to be able to do 2 seconds a frame. And for animators that's what counts! John
